Ben Stoeger, an expert competitive shooter, analyzes the Zermatt Arms Waltz 9 pistol, focusing on its unique 'soft and flat' recoil impulse. He contrasts this with his preferred 'fast and snappy' recoil characteristic found in pistols like the Atlas Titan, emphasizing the importance of quick slide reciprocation and return to center for competitive performance. Stoeger highlights that the Waltz 9 achieves its desirable feel through a unique roller-bearing action, avoiding the sluggishness often associated with soft-recoiling firearms.

This video offers insights from a USPSA competitor's second match, focusing on practical techniques for improvement. Key takeaways include refining the draw from concealment, increasing aggression in movement between stages, and building confidence to avoid unnecessary makeup shots. The speaker, Reno May, also discusses the performance of his Atlas Titan pistol and identifies areas for personal shooting development, emphasizing the value of competition for identifying weaknesses.

This video documents the creator's fourth USPSA match experience, focusing on their performance in the Limited Optics division. They highlight the challenges of avoiding D-class scoring, noting that mathematically they need a 29% score on classifiers to avoid it. The video features the Atlas Titan pistol, a Tier 1 MSP holster, and shooting from concealment with a Hunter Constantine belt. Links to the EDC belt, supplements (Gorilla Mind), TRT services (Marek Health), Barbell Apparel, and the creator's Instagram and merch are provided.

Ben Stoeger, a multi-time national champion, provides expert insights into selecting the best 2011-style pistol for the money in competitive shooting, specifically for the Limited Optics division. He compares the Staccato P, Girsan Witness 2311 ('2K11'), and Atlas Gunworks models, emphasizing that psychological confidence and ergonomics are paramount, often outweighing price alone. Stoeger highlights specific features like trigger weight, barrel length, and safety design that impact performance under pressure.

This video highlights a critical firearm malfunction where the magazine drops during firing, indicating a potential issue with the magazine catch or frame interface.

Ben Stoeger debunks common red dot sight misconceptions, emphasizing that 'finding the dot' and 'blooming' indicate a misunderstanding of optic mechanics. True red dot use requires focusing on the target, not the dot itself. Stoeger suggests training methods like occluding the optic to promote binocular vision and target focus, comparing this skill to trigger control which needs constant refinement.

This 15-minute dry fire program by Ben Stoeger focuses on refining fundamental shooting skills through deliberate practice.
